Jeremy Reed hears the whispers and the concern.
He’s even heard Yukon youth coaches question the validity of his flexbone offense built on the triple option. They’ve openly said their defenses can stop it.
Reed, charged with turning around a downtrodden Yukon football program, can only laugh.
The Millers, who open Friday at rival Mustang, are going to the flexbone offense in the state’s largest classification. It’s unproven at a level dominated by spread offenses and Division I athletes.
Reed still believes it will work.
“We’re two years removed, maybe three, from Georgia Tech winning a conference title,” Reed said. “We’re watching Navy win 10 games a year, win bowl games. We’re watching Air Force win 10 games a year. So, to think that it works at that level with that competition and it won’t work in high school football, I’ll just be honest, is kind of laughable to me.”
Following a year coaching in Arkansas, Reed was hired last spring to return to Oklahoma. He had led a remarkable turnaround in Altus, winning the Class 5A title in 2015.
He did that running the flexbone offense.
